We excluded patients who were taking steroids and\/or immunosuppressants or had a diagnosed heart disease before being diagnosed with SSc. All enrolled patients underwent cardiac MRI, and clinical and laboratory assessments the same date. Myocardial inflammation was defined by cardiac MRI per the Lake Louise Criteria.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 30 SSc patients were enrolled. The female\u2010to\u2010male ratio was 1.8:1. The majority (73%) had diffuse cutaneous SSc. The respective mean age and median duration of disease was 57\u00a0\u00b1\u00a08 and 2.0\u00a0years (interquartile range 1.5\u20102.7). Myocardial inflammation was detected in 22 patients (73.3%). The multivariate analysis revealed that every 5\u00a0years of increased age at onset and every 5\u2010point increase in the modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) at onset was significantly associated with myocardial inflammation (odds ratio 0.47, 95% CI 0.22\u20100.98; and 2.64 95% CI 1.04\u20106.74, respectively). Neither the SSc subset, internal organ involvement, inflammatory markers, nor cardiac and muscle enzymes were associated with myocardial inflammation in SSc.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Myocardial inflammation is common in early\u2010onset SSc. An increased risk of myocardial inflammation was associated with young age and high mRSS at onset. Cardiac MRI is the suggested evaluation for high\u2010risk SSc patients experiencing dyspnea on exertion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1756-185x.13727","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,29]],"date-time":"2019-10-29T08:04:12Z","timestamp":1572336252000},"page":"2125-2133","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Clinical
